Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the cards available at launch may not be the final pieces in your lineup by the end of *MLB The Show 25*'s cycle, they are incredibly valuable at the start. Here are some standout Diamond Dynasty cards you can get your hands on right now:

Team Affinity James Wood

James Wood, the promising outfielder for the Washington Nationals, comes as a Team Affinity reward. Unlocking him requires effort, but it's well worth it. His ability to make solid contact against both left and right-handed pitchers, combined with his power from the corner outfield, positions him as a key player in the heart of your lineup.

Pipeline Program Walker Jenkins

Walker Jenkins, despite being a center fielder, shines with his bat rather than his fielding. His impressive contact and power make him a valuable asset, even if you need to place him out of position. While his speed may not be top-notch, he can still contribute to your team's success.

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw, a dominant force in *MLB The Show* for over a decade, makes a strong return in *MLB The Show 25* as part of the Anniversary Series. With his solid pitch arsenal, including his signature 12-6 Curve, Kershaw remains a cost-effective choice for budget-conscious players looking to bolster their pitching staff.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase

In *MLB The Show 25*, relief pitching is crucial, and Emmanuel Clase's card stands out. Although his pitch mix isn't the most varied, his above-average fastball and devastating slider make him a dominant closer who can secure victories for your team.
